I'm sorry for the major photo-overload today - but can you blame me with this handsome guy by my side? We're spending the next few weeks in a temporary sublet in New York, and unfortunately we can't bring Winston up to join us until we find a more permanent home. Since we knew it'd be a few weeks 'til we saw him again, I thought I'd bring him out to co-star in some outfit pictures we took over the weekend, and he was a total champ! I think he was honestly pretty bored by the whole procedure, but I did manage to encourage some goofy faces out of him (and, ahem, myself) with a little ear-scratching.

I love the loafers!! Can't believe they're thrifted!

Jenn said...

Aw he's adorable!! :) Cute outfit!! I really love those loafers :) Good luck with your move and search for a home!

the other emily said...

Oh man, I was SO excited when I found these at the thrift store - I think they've never even been worn before!

the other emily said...

 Thanks Jenn! Yeah, I will be so relieved once all these transitions are through and we can settle into some kind of routine again - it's been so long!

Elaine said...

Okay, my jealously level just went up the roof.

dellagraceslife said...

Winston has the best smile! He looks like a very happy dog. 

Cute weekend outfit! 

thedailyfashionista said...

Cuteness over load for sure:) What a sweet looking dog you have!  Good luck with apartment hunting.

Chaucee said...

Love the outfit : ) Just added it to my pinterest!

Rachel said...

I am obsessed with those loafers!! Amazing find!! -Rachel (adistinctstyle.blogspot.com)

Dani Ganley said...

military jackets seem to be quite popular today, looks like it's almost time for full-out fall! Too bad it's over 90 degrees here; wish I could join in.

BetweenLaundryDays said...

Yeah, so this outfit? POIFECT. I love the casual-ness of it. Totally something I'd wear, all day, everyday. All the time. YESYESYES.

Also, Winston? ADORABLE. (And you're not bad, either!) ;-)

hannie said...

eeps! that dog collar is SCARY, can you imagine having those spikes digging into your neck all day? ouch.

Kate, Perpetual Student's Wife said...

I adore the proportions of this look! Both your jacket and jeans are perfectly cuffed. Also, may I borrow your dog for a while? So sweet!

kate mccurrach said...

Great shoes! That last picture of you and the dog is super adorable! What a cutie!

Archives said...

awwwww that last photo is priceless!!! you hit the puppy sweet spot! good luck finding a place...im sure winston will be happy to be reunited for good when it happens!!!

eliza said...

i like your loafers... every time i read the word thrifted next to my favorite piece of an outfit, i get sad about the general lack of thrifting near me. boo...

Missa Lee said...

Any outfit with that cute of an accesorie is a win. :) I'm a sucker for any animal.

Anja_AHeartandSoulStory said...

Oh he is such a cutie!! super sweet! Can't wait to see photos of you in New York and hopefully soon some pictures of the new place. And the sock bun is back :)

ki said...

The necklace is adorable as are the loafers! :D

Genny said...

Oh I LOVE a fashion blog post that also features a dog. However, then I tend to focus more on how adorable the dog is than the poster. You're outfit is great, but your dog has stolen the show!!

Closet Fashionista said...

Just found your blog through Clothed Much! LOVE your style!
Those loafers are awesome :D

the other emily said...

He's such a goofus, and I really can't wait to have him back with us all the time!

the other emily said...

Haha, thanks!

the other emily said...

Thank you! Definitely a favorite of mine, I love any combination of stripes and military, and I'm just in love with these loafers.

the other emily said...

Oh definitely, it just suddenly got cool and lovely here. Summer always seems to stretch a few weeks too long, so I'm thrilled to have a real season-change this early!

the other emily said...

 Yeah, I think this is totally going to be the go-to formula for me this fall. Good thing I have this absurd squirrel-cache of stripes and military jackets to draw from!

And yeah, he is kind of the handsomest dog I know. It's those big brown eyes. :)

the other emily said...

Ha, yeah, it looks a lot more intimidating than it is. It's called a pinch collar, and it's actually a really common training tool developed by a vet as a safe and humane alternative to choke collars (which can be dangerous, especially for smaller dogs). The collar stays quite loose unless the dog pulls hard, in which case it emulates the corrective nip a mother dog will give to her puppies when they are out of line. I have tried it myself around my leg, and it's not painful but it does get your attention. Winston only wears his when we're walking him on the leash. He's really well behaved most of the time, but on the rare occasion that he decides he *must* chase a squirrel, the collar helps prevent him from pulling me into traffic.

the other emily said...

Thanks Kate! I am such a sucker for cuffed/cropped styles, even though they're supposedly unflattering for someone my height. I love wearing them anyway! :)

the other emily said...

Thanks Kate! He's such a sweetheart, definitely the only downside to all the traveling we've done this last year is that we've been missing our big yellow dog!

the other emily said...

Haha, he actually has a special noise that he only makes when you scratch his ears, we call it the 'ear groan!'

the other emily said...

Haha, I know what you mean - every time I see that on a blog I'm like, "Dang, now I can't get the same thing!" That's too bad there aren't many thrifts in your area, maybe you could sneak some thrifting in while visiting friends and relatives in other places.

the other emily said...

Me too! I even get suckered in by cats, despite being allergic. I know that petting them is going to bring on the itchy eyes and sniffles, but I just can't stop myself!

the other emily said...

Yes! No idea when we'll end up finding a permanent place here - it could be next week or next month! But I am hoping it's soon, I need a real closet of my own again!

the other emily said...

Thanks Ki!

the other emily said...

Haha, I knew that was fairly inevitable - after all, how could I compete? Winston's just a big blond heartbreaker!

eclecticflair said...

You look effortlessly chic! And Winston is soooo adorable! I love that last picture! Aww, I'm sorry you'll have to be away from him for a few weeks, I'm sure the reunion will be full of puppy kisses and snuggles!

jessica mink said...

I love that jacket....super cute! I wonder if they still have it (if it's from the season). And Winston is so handsome. He is just chillin like he has does this before....great pictures!

the other emily said...

Thanks! Unfortunately I bought it a couple of years ago, so I doubt they have the same one anymore.
And you're right, Winston looks like such a pro!

Missa Lee said...

Ha!  I got an allergy test done a few years back, and they said that I was mildly allergic to dogs and highly allergic to cats..... wasn't sure how I was gonna explain that to my two cats and dog! I guess I grew out of it by always having animals growing up.  Good thing though, because in addition to mine there is always a stray at my house that I just had to pick up- I really am a sucker.

Thanks Toni! :)

the other emily said...

Haha, thanks Kirstin! I love when we manage to get a picture of him being a doofus, he's just the funniest dog but it's hard to catch that in a photo. :)

Jupe said...

Loafers are phenomenal...I have a pair of flat and a pair of heeled...they go with everything and they are so cute!  I love the way you've paired them with stripes, very classic.  Love the blog, btw!

Thanks Cambria, I so agree about the versatility of these kinds of classic styles - I feel like I could pair these loafers with nearly everything I own!

Aw, thanks Emily! And welcome, I was so flattered to be featured on Elaine's blog and am thrilled to have some awesome new readers. :)

 Haha, yeah, I definitely realized as I was posting these photos that it felt like a super 'Amanda' outfit - which is to say, rad. :)

the other emily said...

It's all of my favorite things at once! I even managed to sneak some pink into the background. :)

the other emily said...

Thanks Rachel, I couldn't believe my luck when I found them. :)
